Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Miss Reiser is Understanding and Caring
Todd Reiserâs gaze suddenly shifted to the window outside, where rain had begun to fall. Surprisingly, the haughty Caleb Mamet was holding an umbrella and waiting for Xaviera Evans at the entrance of the Hughes Building.
When Xaviera came out, the two went into the café, sharing the umbrella. The man tilted the umbrella towards Xaviera throughout, fearing that she might get wet from the rain.
Watching the intimate scene between them, Todd Reiser couldnât help but sigh, "Caleb really dotes on Mrs. Mamet. I was worried he would be lonely without me, but it seems I was just overthinking it. Heâs doing well now."
The viciousness in Fiona Reiserâs eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a tender smile, "Yes, so if you criticize his wife in front of Caleb, of course he will be angry. Even if his wife is wrong today, he doesnât want to hear anyone speak ill of her. That is his familyâs affair, after all; we shouldnât interfere too much."
Todd Reiser felt reassured as he heard his sisterâs words, "Fiona, I remember you once said that if Mia didnât want to marry Caleb, you could marry him instead. I thought you really liked him, but it turns out that youâre not upset at all that heâs married now!"
At that moment, a noblewoman happened to enter the door and overheard Fionaâs words, "Brother, although Caleb and I were childhood friends, heâs married now, and weâre just friends. I must maintain a distance from him to avoid causing misunderstandings with Mrs. Mamet."
"Moreover, I only consider Caleb a brother, as I never really liked him in a romantic way. If we must see each other in the future, I will bring you and Mia along instead of meeting him alone, as Mrs. Mamet would surely be unhappy."
Several people heard Fionaâs words and whispered in admiration, "Miss Reiser is so understanding! Knowing that Mr. Caleb Mamet is married, she no longer meets him privately. The Reiser familyâs daughter is truly extraordinary!"
"Miss Reiser is good, but Mrs. Mamet is going too far. She gets unhappy even if Mr. Caleb Mamet has a normal interaction with his friends. You know, Miss Reiser and Mr. Caleb Mamet were childhood friends and have known each other since they were young. Now, to consider Mrs. Mametâs feelings, they avoid each other altogether."
Although their voices were low, Fiona caught the key points of their conversation and smiled contentedly.
"Brother, itâs getting late; letâs go home," said Fiona Reiser.
Todd Reiser stood up, his eyes full of indulgence, "My sister is truly understanding, gentle and beautiful. I have never met a more outstanding noble lady than you! I wish Mia could be as steady and sensible as you. I think even Mrs. Mamet canât compare to you!"
Fiona Reiser shyly smiled and left with him.
Meanwhile, Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans entered the cafĂ©, where a table full of dishes had been prepared in their booth. Xaviera was surprised, "Isnât this a cafĂ©? They cook dishes as well?"
Caleb smiled, "Of course, not only can you have a meal, but Mrs. Mamet also had a beauty treatment here today."
"So, you know about that. Indeed, money can make the ghost grind the millstone," replied Xaviera, trying a piece of meat.
"Is everything resolved?" Caleb asked.
Xaviera nodded, "More or less. And I donât think the Hughes family knows I was after Nidya Hughes. What were you doing here today? Just to see the Reiser family members?"
Caleb Mamet looked profound, "Well, I came to learn some information from them."
"What information?" Xaviera asked curiously, "Have you discovered a secret of the Reiser family?"
Recalling the note left by Mia Reiser, Caleb glanced at Xaviera before quickly looking away, "Not yet, but I think their goal is neither money nor power."
Xaviera was puzzled, "Then what could it be? If itâs not for money and power, what else could there be? If the Reiser familyâs goal isnât these, why would they go to all the trouble of returning to Libanan?"
"Although thereâs little news about the Reiser family abroad, people around them say that they are well-known benefactors. Even now that they have returned to Libanan, they are highly regarded, earning praise from everyone. The Reiser family is known for their elegance, kindness, and manners. To win everyoneâs admiration in such a short time, the Reiser family must have put a lot of effort into it."
To bring something to its peak, one must put in several times the energy than others. The Reiser family canât possibly be playing the role of famous benefactors only for vanityâs sake.
However, Xaviera couldnât figure out what else they could pursue if not for money and power.
